Access and concordance. Agreement with the plan and access
to the plan. These are the ingredients to optimal
outcomes with chiropractic care. In Manahawkin, access to chiropractic
is straightforward. Manahawkin Chiropractic Center invites back
pain and neck pain patients to share their pain
symptoms honestly to develop a pain relieving treatment
plan which they will follow.
CONCORDANCE IS A BIG KEY TO BEST CLINICAL OUTCOMES
Chiropractic services for neck and back pain have been shown
efficacious as many randomized clinical trials have been
completed. Chiropractic services are acknowledged
to be as effective for back and neck pain relief. A recent study describes the satisfaction
of patients who either follow the proposed
treatment frequency guidelines or do not. Neck pain and back pain patients were said to be “concordant”
(5 or more visits within any 2-month time period or at least 12 visits throughout
the year) or “discordant” (not having 5 or more visits in a 2-month time period
or 12 visits in a year) and their characteristics were documented. Most
chiropractic users with diagnosed neck or back pain were said to be
“discordant” with treatment frequency guidelines and their healthcare costs
for chiropractic care were only $434 versus $2555 for “concordant” patients. Physical
function issues played a role
among other items for these patients. (1) Do not let
physical function make you discordant or hold you back from coming to
your appointments! Don’t skip your
appointments. Manahawkin Chiropractic Center knows the treatment plan with the Cox®
Technic System of Spinal Pain Management that is most beneficial

ACCESS TO CHIROPRACTIC SERVICES
Older adults who do not have such access to chiropractic
care are seen to more frequently utilize some
medical services for spine conditions. Medicare data of 39,278
chiropractic care recipients who moved geographically from an area with more access to chiropractic care to an area with less access
to found that these patients ended up experiencing
more visits to primary care physicians for spine issues (a rise
of 32.3 visits more annually) and were more likely to have
spinal surgery (5.5 more surgeries per year). Financially, this decreased
access to chiropractic care for spine issues ended up higher
expense to Medicare: an extra $114,967 per 1,000 beneficiaries on medical
services (equaling $391 million nationally). (2) Manahawkin Chiropractic Center
is open here in Manahawkin to relieve pain and save money on spine pain
relief services.
YOU AND YOUR INPUT MATTER
What
you share with your Manahawkin chiropractor is important
to your pain-relieving treatment plan. An Australian study of chiropractors
found that chiropractors utilize patient documented
outcome measures (PROMs) to formulate and adjust the treatment plan
and gauge the treatment response of lumbar spine pain patients. (3) Tell your Manahawkin chiropractic honestly what is going with you. Manahawkin Chiropractic Center is listening!
